A reminder
there is a model show atMilton
Keynes, UK in this Sunday Feb 1. I forgot to add
this to the ARC homepage "coming Shows" section so I want
to give this show special notice for this reason.

Carl “Fuzzy” Fischer
gets things started with his first model on ARC and his first model
since re-entering the hobby. This is Carl's
1/72 Revell (Hasegawa) P3-C Orion
that he built to a very high standard for a former former Flight
Engineer that flew this particular aircraft. Carl's article
was an enjoyable read. Welcome to ARC Carl!!!

Busolini Massimo
has done an exceptional job on his Jolly Rogers 1/48 Hasegawa F-14B Tomcat.
Busolini captured the weathered look of the F-14 paint job
perfectly. Read his article to learn his techniques.

Brian Waldorf
is here with what has to be one of the coolest looking paint jobs
ever worn by a P-47. This is his 1/32 Hasegawa P-47
and the D-Day stripes just put this one over the top for me.
Brian weathered his P-47 and finished it in the markings of Col.
Francis Gabreski

Phillip Rajoo
has been busy getting the perfect look on his 1/100 Doyusha B707.
Phillip finished his airliner in the colours of Singapore Airlines.
It's always a treat to see airliner models on the ARC homepage.

I have a review of the new 1/48
QF-16 Victim Viper decal sheet fromTwobobs

complete fictitious jets of the follow on full-scale target drone
aircraft for the USAF.

I have a review of the 1/32

out and the blue paint scheme is one of the most attractive camo
schemes worn by the Phantom.

firewall scheme used in the Italian theatre near to the end of the
war. A great looking Mustang Warren.

something you need to have a close look at........it is quite the
tricky scheme to get right but Marcos did an excellent job on it.

Patrick Vossenberg

finished 1/72 Academy F-86F finished off in the Royal Saudi

larger kit.

Bob Bartolacci

work he did in his article.....this was quite the conversion.

Malcolm Reid
has done an exceptionally nice job on his 1/32 Hasegawa Ki-84 Frank.
Malcolm added wiring tot he cockpit, engine and wheelbays along
with other scratchbuilt detailing. He then finished it off
with a flawlessly weathered paint job.....the weathering on

standout.

special skill to turn into this rare pre-second WW2 Argentinean
in the aircraft.

II that he converted from an F4-E. Alvaro did much

Brandon Dodge
has taken extra steps to turn out an awesome 1/48 Tamiya F-16CG.
Brandon used a variety of aftermarket items to get the detail
correct on his model and finished it off with aftermarket decals
with outstanding results. The painting and weathering has to
be seen to be believed..

Mark L. Rossmann

exceptionally well done Spitfire in RAAF markings. Resin
goodies came from Ultracast.

Warren Osborne
is here with a blast from the past. This is his big 1/24 Airfix Spitfire Mk 1
finished off to an impressive level with scratchbuilding in the
cockpit to do this scale up properly. I must confess I have
this kit in my stash and seeing how well Warren did on his makes me
long to build mine..

Stefan Costel
joins us from Romania with his beautiful looking 1/48 Academy F-117A.
Judging by the photo of the cockpit it looks like Stefan did
quite a bit of work in there. He has also included a photos of

Phillip Steele
has been busy building his 1/72 KP Aero A-100. This
was not the easiest kit but Phillip tackled like a pro and pulled
off a very sharp looking model of this little known aircraft.

Tuesday,

No update today.....I
got side tracked on other ARC work on Monday.

Monday,
Jan 12 2009

Yoav Efrati
gets things started today with two of his 1/72 Revell F-16Cs.

excellent results.

I've
safely made it to Tahiti and am aboard my Mon-Key Island Air Force
float equiped ultra light for the final journey to
Mon-Key Island. With the use of 3 feet of rope I've managed to
create an auto pilot and with the help of Bamford's laptop and
a satellite link I can do the update from 5000
feet.......odd.....the engine just cut out.....this don't look
good......

Alvis 3.1
begins
today with a unique airliner from Jackal Island. This is his 1/144 DC-109G
which is a combination of a Bf-109 and a DC-4 and used by
LuftRitger.

Alvis 3.1
is here with a little known Meteor Target towing
aircraft. This is his 1/48 Banner Tow
with a VERY shot up banner behind it. Odd looking banner.

Alvis 3.1
is here with a diorama of something we've all heard about.
this is his 1/18 JMNs*......which means "Joyless
Modelling Nazis". Look carefully.....one of the judges is
holding a magnifying glass in one hand and a hammer in his other
hand.....another judge is holding a FS Color Chip guide.

My stupid
cousin Larry has set sail for Mon-Key island in my shopping
cart. Bamford's Visa card only had a $300 limit, so I will be
flying by Federal Express to Tahiti in a crate before I fire up the
Mon-Key Island Air Force ultra light for the final journey to
Mon-Key Island. Tonight there will be a big party at the ARC
corporate offices to celebrate my departure to Mon-Key
Island.

Dan's
Mon-key

Alvis 3.1
starts today with his Tales from Area 51*: 1/72 Count Rivet article.
This isn't just a rivet....this is a top secret test
aircraft......but read his article for the whole story.

John
"Pastafarian" Gaines is a Civil War history
expert and he's hare with One reason for Union victory. It
seems the Union Army had a special T-Rex cavalry units. I'd
like to thank John for this insightful article.

Dave "The Rat" Bailey
is here with what I believe is the largest jet power flying boat
ever made. This is his Hawker Siddeley Nodens which is
able to refuel off RN ships. No doubt about it...this is one
cool looking flying boast.

Alvis 3.1
has been building his 1/230 JKM Skipjackal SSN. For
those of you that don't recognize this sub........it was based at
Jackal Island and Alvis 3.1 has the full history of this sub.

Alvis 3.1
has been having an amusing time building his What-if 1/48 Royal Navy Rafale FS. 1.
I do like the look of this one.

Mark Mallinson
put much effort into his 1/48 Dornier Do 735N-1A Heavy Nightfighter.
This is a Do 335 fitted with a jet engine under each wing, but
there is more to this aircraft as you'll read in Mark's
article.

I've used
Bamford's Visa card to charter a plane to Tahiti......from there it
will be a 19 hour journey by Ultra light to Mon-Key island.
I've been assured by Bamford that an ultra light can fly 19 hours on
4 gallons of gas. Although I can't help but be puzzled why
Bamford had a gleam in his eye when he told me the ultra light would
easily fly across shark infested waters for 19 hours on 4 gallons of
gas. I plan to set up a Banana Brewery on Mon-Key island to
corner the global banana brew market. My stupid cousin Larry
has a fear of flying......so he'll be paddling my shopping cart
across the pacific with styrofoam pontoons......thats a long
paddle.....good thing he packed that second sandwich.

Drakens, Ah-64, F-105, F/A-18C, F-15A ASAT Eagles, A-7D Molar
Marauder and much other news.

Hal Elsberry
has been very creative with his 1/32 21st Century Toys Macchi C.202.
This kit was heavily modified and display as a burning fighter
with the pilot getting ready to jump to safety. Very nicely
done Hal.

Alvis 3.1
is here with a little know history lesson on the reverse
engineered Russian B-29 jet engined bomber. This is his 1/144 Tupolev TU-4T
"Bolshoi" and in his article he tells the full Cold
War story about this rare aircraft..

Susan Csaba
joins us for the first time today with her award winning Fantasy figures Model.
Wow.......I really like how this one turned out Susan........you
have much talent.

Hal Elsberry

I'm very impressed to say that Hal sculpted this very comical
model himself.

Vasilij
"Tarner" Ratej joins us from the Land in the Alps with
his 1/35 Tamiya M2 Bradley. This Bradley has a detailed
interior weathered exterior and some battle damage that must have
really rattled the crew of this Bradley. Beautiful.

Paul
"peebeep" Brown joins us with something all Sci-fi
fans with recognize. This is his Dr Who 'Welcome Aboard' time
machine.........I am quite the fan of Dr Who.......I guess I'm aging
myself.

I waited
all day yesterday for Bamford to do an update......finally I blasted
him in an e-mail for not doing an update. Then he had the
nerve to tell me since he's locked out of the ARC offices that the
updates are my daily responsibility. Between the banana brew parties
with the Mon-key babes it's hard to remember to do daily updates
every day. Dan's
Mon-key

Max Tollens Jr. with an assist from Joe and his Mom
is here with an amusing Wintertime Offensive in Candyland
diorama. If you look closely you'll notice a Tiger Tank hiding
in the Gingerbread house ruins.

David “drhornii” Horn
is here to tell you the tale of the A-37 flown by the US
Navy. This is his
1/48 Monogram A-37N and his article tells the full story behind
this sharp looking Naval A-37.

Tory Mucaro
is here to show you he's a talented modeler but definatly not a
fan of MOPAR cars. This is his 1/25 AMT 1971 Plymouth
Duster after it's been crushed.....pretty funny stuff and very
well done.

Alvis 3.1
has been busy designing his 1/48 Twin
Skymaster: Cessna 337 X 2. This is what happens when you
combine two Cessna 337. The story sound very plausible.

Max Tollens Jr.
is here with some armor today. This is his 1/35 Trumpeter LAV-25 USMC
that is enhanced with some photo etch. Nicely done
Max......the camo job looks great.

Jorgen "Troll" Toll

Triplane fully made from wood.
His fiancée gave it to him. :-)

Grae "Eng" Sutherland
is here with his 1/144 DACO Skyline 737-400 finished off
in RAF markings. Grae includes the whole story behind
his RAF airliner. Pretty cool to see this one.

Carl Gootzen
is back again for Silly Week with Several gnomes in ?/? scale.
There is nothing that
brightens up a Garden more than Garden Gnomes......of course the
fact they don't make Mon-key Garden Gnomes is probably a good
thing.

Dave "The Rat" Bailey
is here to make you grin with his amusing story about The Spring Offensive of 1918.
And yes this story does involve Jasta 27 Commander Hermann Göring.

Alvis 3.1
has been designing WW2 aircraft and rewriting history in the
process. His 1/48 Grumman P-65 Thundercat is a
kitbash between a Hellcat and a P-47....it actually looks very
convincing..

William G
is here with the ultimate Monster Truck. This is his The Sith Shall Rise Again! 4Tx4T.....which
is a kitbash between a monster truck and the Star Wars AT-AT
walker. William has the full story to go with this amusing
and creative build.

Björn Bäcklund
is here to reveal a Top scret story from the Cold War.
This is his 1/144 BAC Conqueror with the story of the
Concorde bomber. And you
heard about it first on ARC.

I've
raided the ARC vault and bought a small tropical island in the south
pacific with a massive banana grove. Construction will begin
on a secret bunker on Mon-key island to hold the ARC servers....by
the time Bamford returns......my stupid cousin Larry and I will be
long gone. I also used some of the loot to add some bling to
my shopping cart.....it is now gold plated. All jokes this
week will be Mon-key jokes. Dan's
Mon-key

Alvis 3.1
is here to save Gotham City with his 1/48 BatPlane, 1942.
This P-40 captures the true
look of what a batplane would look like in 1942. The model
also includes a batman with cap flying in the wind as he jumps into
the cockpit BatPlane with his vintage 1940's Batcar to complete the
scene. Sadly Batmans pet Mon-key isn't included in the
photos.

Frank Dargies
is here with the beginnings of what will prove to be a
scratchbuilt and highly detailed cut away U-564 U-Boat Part 1.
Frank has gone to extreme effort to get everything looking very
realistic and the finished model will be
spectacular.

Dave The Rat Bailey
is here with his what-if 1/220 Lodela Transall AC-160. Dave
tells the story of the French winning their war against Viet Minh in
the 1950 and this particular aircraft is in French markings.....read
his article for the full story. The turning point for the French
was the Simian Resistance Front and their gorilla war tactics.

KH Lee is
here with Malaysia’s
attempt in breaking the world landspeed record in 2018 with
his 1/72 Boleh SSV F18. Look
carefully and you'll see this car resembles an F-18. The
really exciting part is the 1/3 test cars were tested with highly
trained Mon-key's before the final full sized car was built.

Phillip Steele
is here with his B-17 and Foo Fighters. Oddly
enough no model kit maker has ever released a kit for the Foo Fighters.

Ha ha
ha....I'm baaaack!!! The locks are changed........the ARC
walk-in beer fridge is full of banana brew and I've got the keys to
Bamford's pink Triumph!!! But I won't be here just for Silly
Week......I have a cunning plan to take over ARC. Of course
first I've got the sell that stupid pink Triumph. Dan's
Mon-key

Dean Large
is the first modeller to finally figure out how to properly build
models. None of that stupid weathering stuff.....nope this 1/72 Airfix Exploded Diagram Lightning
is built the way the instructions show.......in an exploded
view. Think of all the money saved on glue, filler and
paint.....that can be used for beer and hot hairy Mon-key
babes.

Dave "The Rat" Bailey
is here with a model kit that would make any human cry.....although
us superior Mon-key modellers could build this one easily.
This is his 1/?? Flunker and even includes a top secret
story......although the detail that the pilot of the U-2 in the
story was Ed the retired NASA Test Mon-key borrowed from the NASA
space program wasn't included in the story. Remember Mon-keys
were in space before humans.

Lester Fink
has taken a toy and converted it into a model of the Waterworld Trimaran.
This required resin casting and other tricks. Of course
the movie Waterworld was a huge flop......mainly because it didn't
feature any cute Mon-key babes. Stupid Hollywood anti-Mon-key
discrimination.

Shawn "Phantom" Weiler
has been dipping into the banana brew at the ARC Corporate
offices a bit too much when he was building his fantasy 1/48 Hasegawa CF-166E Super Falcon AKA F-2A.
It is complete with faded camo and Canuck markings. Of course
Canada never flew these.......they were too busy trying to buy
Tweets for their airfarce to replace those creaky F-18's they
